A lot of people have a negative opinion on firearms but fail to appreciate the practical use / the engineering and the beautiful artistry of many firearms.
These people typically live in high density population areas (cities) who are out of touch with the utilitarian use of firearms as everyday (or even weekend) tools.
Been waiting 28 months to get a Shiloh Sharps 45-70 built for my daughter. It will be her 50th birthday present. It is currently in the production run. We were hoping for Christmas delivery. I let her customize it to her hearts content, minus special engraving. Had to have the stock shortened slightly for her pull length. She has shot my Henry 45-70, but it a Quigley fan. Can't wait to get our hands on it. Thank you for a fine video. We have watched your prior Sharps video. You are great at what you do. Thank you.
Awesome history of sharpshooter in Australia. So you know the history of the word " sniper "? Cames from a bird called "snipe" and those who were able to shoot amazing "snipe" was called a "sniper ".👌👍
I believe that the early Sharps rifles were paper cartridge breech loaders, not muzzle loaders. Later they were converted to breech loading brass cartridge loaders.
On your back with barrel hooked over crossed feet is called the “supine” position. Still see it being used on occasion, but predominantly with antique rifles, as their barrels are long enough to prevent the shooter from blowing his foot off.
Your correct about the native american history and horses. They often have been associated with an horse culture but the reality of thier accurate history is that horses are just a blip on the radar of their history and heritage. Long before everyone was using foot and water based travel. He recently died but Mike Venturino wrote a lot of material about various vintage American singlenshot rifles.
Just did a quick check on the internet. The hide was valued in the leather industry for leather for the industrial application of belt driven pulleys. The bones were also valued for fertilizer and many other uses, including fine bone china. Made possible by the railways transporting the bones. The industry lasted 20 yrs. Also it lead to the destruction of the Indian poulation.
Well delivered, Sir! I'm accustomed to academic-level lectures and that sort of crap; in physics and what-not. Whereas this stuff for me is a hobby and a simple interest - and I'll hazard this is the case for a lot of your viewers. While I like the physics of ballistics, etc, I doubt I'll be digging deeper than "superficial" for my own personal interests in the art. Therefore, I'm unlikely to be getting into academic-level discourse on the matter. as I'm sure you might appreciate. I just want to shoot sh!t, ya know?! Haha. You convey the information required to pique the interest of the Everyman very well; with a humble attitude and constant reminder to the audience that you're not a nerd-level academic, and that folks whom are interested in each sub-topic should pursue their own self-investigation. Plus, you are thereby letting us know of some interesting stuff we can go have a look at if we want; which we might not have otherwise thought of. Meanwhile, for me at least, you instill in the viewer a sincere confidence that you are indeed a masterful expert in your field, Sir! Cheers, mate. Well done. And thanks to you and the team. Respect. (bloody Aussies, eh...)
We were tought in school in the us that the Buffalo were hunted to near extension to try and starve the natives and also take away a large source of clothing and shelter.
I have never heard about the connection between the American buffalo and European "bone" china. Was bone an additive to typical ceramic constituents or was "bone" china made entirely of bone? Why was it a prized additive/constituent? Was it whiter than normal china or have other desirable properties? Maybe this is outside your area of expertise but since you brought it up, I am very curious. Can anyone elaborate?
I winn the littery i will get me a fuddy sharp i also want one of those Remington stainless bolt black powder tack drivers. They are pricy now but stainless
2 to 300 yards down wind from the herd. The hwrds had leaders. They were cows . The hunters watched the herd till they figured out which was the lead cow. They shot the lead cow and picked off a few more while the herd was deciding who the next leader would be. Then they shot that cow. There were times when the hunters had 100s of buffalo laying fead on a few acers of ground. More than they could get skinned before the hides ruined . I think ine hunter wrote that on a good day he made more money in a day than the president of the united states was making at the time.
@@markandsamafterwork there's a book I'm trying to find it so I can tell you the name of it lol. It tells the history of buffalo hunting from the side of the Indians and the white man both.

Wow Mark! This was probably a way more accurate version of American history than was ever taught in any public school here in the states.
Thank you!🤝🙏
Lol, cheers Chris, thanks man
@markandsamafterwork 🫡
Very interesting great video
Thanks Dennis
The Pedersoli "Rifle from Down Under" is a beautiful rifle. the 45/70 is a pretty cool round too.
Cheers Man, glad you liked.
I believe that the early Sharps rifles were paper cartridge breech loaders, not muzzle loaders. Later they were converted to breech loading brass cartridge loaders.
Yes breach loading but still using percussion caps like a muzzle loader, Cheers
Very interesting. As a collector of .22 rimfire firearms, even though these are the wrong calibre, I find this sort of video to be fascinating.
Cheers Dave, thanks Man

What would be the best scope magnification for long range shooting

It’s called a null point where the barrel does not resonate. It makes a dull sound.
Thanks Man
I think the sharps 50_ 90 became popular with the hunters. They used shooting sticks ir a forked stick stuck in the ground.
Thanks again, Cheers Man
❤🙏🏼👋🏼

Pas tout compris, mais mon fusil préféré 👍
In Europe its very expensive a replique
Thanks Pedro
Don’t forget the trap door Springfield.

The old Winchester levers aren’t floated either and are pretty accurate shooters too
Cheers Man
